Gigs4U Artist Series: Young-Chhaylee
Young-Chhaylee is a Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter whose voice carries a rare mix of strength and vulnerability. Raised on the southside of Everett, WA, and shaped by his experience as a first-generation Cambodian-American, his music blends soulful melodies with pop, folk, and R&B influences.
On Bandcamp you’ll find songs that feel both personal and universal — tracks like Some Kinda Love and Rooftop reveal a stylistic palette that ranges from rich, melodic hooks to emotionally grounded storytelling.
Young-Chhaylee’s sound draws inspiration from artists as diverse as John Mayer, J. Cole, Otis Redding, and D’Angelo — a blend that gives his work groove as well as depth. His voice is powerful yet fluttering, able to soar in moments of intensity and settle into tenderness with equal skill.
Whether performing solo sets in intimate rooms or sharing stages with collaborators, Young-Chhaylee’s music resonates with people who come for the feeling just as much as the craft. His songs speak of love, identity, and lived experience — not as tropes, but as honest reflections from someone who writes from within.
Check out his music on Bandcamp and follow along with his journey as he continues to carve out his own space in the scene.
